House adjourns ahead of 7th speaker vote, 216-214 | LiveNOW from FOX
The House adjourned on Jan. 4, 2023 after it failed for a sixth time to elect a speaker — continuing a feud between House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy, R-Calif., and 20 opponents within his own party. The chamber first adjourned until 8 p.m. ET on Jan. 4, following unsuccessful negotiation efforts from McCarthy to secure a majority of votes needed to win the speaker's gavel. After gaveling in at 8:00 p.m., the majority of lawmakers voted immediately to reconvene on Jan. 5, 2023 at noon. Now, the House will have to conduct a seventh round of votes.
